i would just like to talk to stan a little bit about the fact that steve said something about the one republican senator that likes to filibuster and blah blah blah. what about harry reid pocket vetoing everything that comes from the house if he doesn't like it? how is that -- that's not even written into the constitution but the filibuster is but harry reid can decide i'm not going to take this up but they can't filibuster? host: we'll get the response. guest: no that's not in the constitution. it is a prerogative that the senate has taken on its own as it created its own rules. but it is not constitutional. and just to correct you with one other thing. it's not a pocket veto but that's something only the president can do. but you're right in the sense that the majority is the one that determines what the agenda is going to be, what legislation comes to the house. it's not different in the senate than it is in the house of representatives. where john boehner the house rules committee decides what will come to the floor and when. it is -- you've just saw it as a matter of fact in the
